Unlike Lafayette, Clinton, Smith, and dozens of others, Dancy does not appear in a lot of town names. I have found only 4 states with DANCY used as part of a town name:
Dancy, Alabama in Pickens County
Dancy, Mississippi in Webster County
Dancy, Wisconsin in Marathon County
Dancyville, Tennessee in Haywood County
Information has been provided for
Dancy, Wisconsin by Emil Wasniewski and Thomas Morley. Dancy, Alabama information has been
provided by Deborah Muirhead. We would certainly like someone to provide more on the town
of Dancy, Mississippi.
We would appreciate any additional information on the 'Dancy Towns', especially origin, how they were named, their place in the community (both past and present), people, etc. If you have any information, or live close to the county libraries, where you could do research, I would appreciate it. I would also be happy to transcribe copies of documents, pertaining to these communities, and pay the costs of copies and the postage, if necessary. I would be happy to give you full credit for any data I post on this site.
I do have considerable information on Dancyville, Tennessee, since this was the home of my father, grandfather, great-grandfather and 2-great-grandfather. There remains, however, a ton of information I would still like to have. Any new information on Dancyville, Tennessee would also be appreciated.
